Hands down one of the highlights of our trip. Exploring the desert landscape was awesome, but Grace made the entire experience top-tier! She’s a wonderful driver, kept the energy high, and made sure everyone had a blast. Highly recommend Scottsdale Adventure Tours, and definitely request Grace as your driver!

We had a nice experience with Robin our tour guide- he was a careful and considerate driver and he knew a ton about the wildlife and kept us safe from the teddy bear cholla that tried to latch on to a few of us during the tour. He was super kind and even gave us a sweet souvenir to bring home. Thanks Robin!!!
Offered this experience as a work related trip. Got to pick from 1 of 4 jeep drivers, by chance picked a jeep driven by Grace. She was phenomenal, lots of knowledge during the ride and lots of laughs. It was so fun the hour and a half tour flew by. Grace also surprised us by being able to count past 3! 10/10 would recommend.
We had a great experience with Greg as our guide!
We really enjoyed this jeep tour. Beautiful scenery and informative along the way. Our guide Robin was very knowledgeable about the land and vegetation along the ride. Water is provided. It can be bumpy along the way but the jeep was secure and covered. Sunset was amazing. It does run a little longer than 2 hours if you have plans after keep that in mind.
Grace made sure we had an amazing adventure, shared lots of neat information about the plants and wildlife and overall had an awesome time.
It was very worth it! Our guide Brian T was wonderful he made the tour personable and informative. The landscape was beautiful and like nothing I have seen before. I went with my two teenage girls and they had a great time as well. The time it took was about right, took about 2 hours The price was worth it. We had jeep to ourself with a party of three which was super fun!
Here for my friends bachelorette trip all the way from Myrtle Beach, SC. We have done some very fun activities while being in Scottsdale, but the Jeep Tour definitely outdid itself with the help from Grace our tour guide. Not only was she so amazingly fun but she was also very knowledgeable and was able to educate us on so many fun things throughout! When I come back, I am definitely requesting Grace!
It was absolutley incredible! Highly recommend! What a cool experience! Grace, our Guide was AH-MAZING! Worth every penny!!!
Our group’s experience was top notch! Our guide Brian was friendly, entertaining, knowledgeable, and honestly made our experience what it was. We learned a lot about the desert which was fun since none of us were from the area. Having him as our guide was incredibly special!
Brian Turney is a great Jeep Tour Guide. Very nice, knowledgeable, funny.
Great trip, great guide! Really enjoyed it. Great views and learned a lot
Went on the tour this past Wednesday as part of a work trip excursion day. It was great! Not sure what I expected but this was way more! Grace was our driver. She did an excellent job. She knows so much about the history in the area, the plants in the region, and drives very well. Would definitely do again if I'm ever in the area. It was beautiful!!
Had our Desert Jeep tour with Whitney who was a great driver and very knowledgeable about the desert. We had amazing time.
Brian “with an I” was a fantastic tour guide. He shared interesting history of the Tonto Forest public lands and Arizona fun facts. It was a highly sensory experience and watch out for all the cactus. Highly recommend !!
My husband and I had such a great time on the jeep tour. Brian was so knowledgeable about the Sonoran desert which made the tour so interesting! He made the best prickly pear lemonade and mesquite jelly for us all to try! We can't wait to return again!
Brian was great! It was a very educational ride with gorgeous views! Thank you brian!
Had a wonderful experience. Brian is an excellent guide.
The tour is boring, I give 3 star The tour guide was very good, I give 5 star to her. I will not recommend on friends .
Jay was EXCELLENT! We lucked out and got a private family tour with him (we didn't book private but numbers just worked out that way) and we learned so much. It was me, my husband and two girls (11 and 8). Going into it I was wondering if the cost was going to be worth it, and the tour exceeded all expectations. We learned about scottsdale, the desert, cactus plants and so much more. We also got some incredible family pics which will probably be our next holiday card. Thank you SO MUCH!
Whitney was an amazing driver & tour guide. Very knowledgeable!!
This was the highlight of our trip! Family of four, two kids under age 10. Brian was incredibly accommodating, fun, knowledgeable and fantastic with the kids. You could tell he loves what he does! We were so lucky to have him as our guide. I felt he went above and beyond. I would book again and I would request Brian because he was absolutely fabulous! The tour itself was fun to ride on the jeep and the views once at the plateau were incredible!
Very educational and great guide. Had a lot of fun with our kids. Plateau lookout was beautiful
David, our guide, was absolutely fabulous. He was so knowledgeable and friendly the entire tour and both of my boys and husband really enjoyed chatting with him. You could tell he really enjoyed giving tours and sharing all of his knowledge about Arizona, the wildlife, the plants, etc. I also loved the fact they took photos of our crew. As a mom, you never get a lot of family photos on vacation. (IYKYK!) Would highly recommend this to anyone (as long as you can handle some bumps!) and would highly recommend David!
David was a fantastic guide who was very knowledgeable about the plants, wildlife and sights on our tour. He welcomed our questions and was engaging with every one in the group. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Scottsdale area.
David is the best. Had a great time with him.
Brian was awesome! Great experience! Ten out of ten, recommend!
Our tour guide Brian was awesome! Very personable and interacted with us throughout, he even took photos for us. When you book this tour, ask for Brian!
Brian was amazing, he kept us safe and entertained. Great experience, would definitely recommend!!!
So much fun, and informative! Our driver, Brian, was relaxed, knowledgeable, and quite humorous. It was such a great way to learn about the beauty surrounding us.
It was awesome. Cactus as far as the eye could see. Saw some birds. Driver was entertaining and knowledgeable.
Great time with knowledgeable guides! Brian and Kaz were wonderful and friendly and we really enjoyed our tour!
We had a great experience with David as our guide! He was very personable and super knowledgeable about the area, wildlife, history, and horticulture.
We had a great tour with Alan. He was very knowledgeable about a lot of different information about the area. The Tonto National Forest was great to see by Jeep with a guide (versus guessing where to go on our own) and the night sky did not disappoint! Alan impressed us with his cactus knowledge as well.
We had a blast! Saw lots of wildlife, including a rattlesnake! Beautiful weather and the sunset was spectacular. Allen is very knowledgeable and personable.
Brian was an excellent guide. He has lots of information on vegetation and local history. My 15 and 11 year old and I had a wonderful time looking at the sights. Thanks for a great trip Brian!
We booked a Jeep tour for a bachelorette trip and it was hands down one of the highlights of the weekend! Jay was our guide and he absolutely made the experience. He was hilarious, kept the energy up the entire time, and was very knowledgeable. The views were incredible, the ride was adventurous without being intimidating, and Jay knew all the best spots for photos. He struck the perfect balance between being informative and keeping things fun for our group. If you’re planning a girls’ trip or bachelorette party, request Jay — you won’t regret it! He truly made it such a memorable experience for all of us.
We took a 12-2:00 tour. We opted for the daytime tour to accommodate low vision. Our tour guide was Marco. A young man who was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The tour we took was in an open air jeep. You ride on a regular road for about 15 minutes before you get to the start of the tour. I was glad for a jacket. Marco was talkative and answered as many questions as he could. About half way through the tour we stopped and enjoyed walking around and Marco showed us many interesting things about the dessert. We even got to sample a little piece of a cholla cactus. He also took our pictures. It was a beautiful day! Water was provided if you wanted some. Use the restroom before you leave for the tour. Nothing to accommodate if you have to go, at least not for the ladies.
Allan is the best tour guide!!!! Amazing bachelorette trip booking. He thought of all the details and then some
We had an amazing Sonoran Desert Jeep tour with Caz—five stars all the way! Her personality made the whole experience so much fun from the moment we hopped in. She’s friendly, engaging, and has a great sense of humor that kept us entertained the entire time. She had incredible knowledge of the desert, especially the plants. She didn’t just point things out—she explained what they were, how they survive in the harsh environment, and even shared interesting facts about their history and uses. We left feeling like we actually learned something, not just took a ride. If you get the chance to tour with her, do it—you won’t be disappointed!
Fun and fascinating jeep tour through the dessert. Caz was an especially engaging, enthusiastic, and informative tour guide. Our group had a large age range and the needs for all were met sensitively and thoughtfully. Highly recommended!!
This was our second time taking friends from out of town on the desert tour. We did the sunset tour last time and the day tour this time. Both were very good. The sunset was nice for the evening views. We felt like the day tour was more informative and a little more relaxed as we were not trying to “time” the sunset views. Our guide Brian was exceptional.
Alan the guide was amazing ! He was very knowledgeable! Any fitness can do the tour! I loved the Apple. Cider! You will love the desert and the sunset !
Fantastic time and Brian was a wonderful tour guide!! He was super knowledgeable and interesting and made the experience great!
We were a group of 15 spanning 3 generations and everyone has a wonderful time. The tour was fun, informative and beautiful. Our guides, Allen and Caz, were very easygoing, knowledgeable and patient. We highly recommend!
Whitney was fantastic! Incredibly knowledgeable, lots of fun, and made our trip a blast!
Our cousin group had a great time on this jeep tour! It was about 2 hours, and so interesting to learn about the forest. Our guide Whitney was fantastic. Vibes were immaculate! I would definitely do this again.
Such a great experience! It was a fun ride with breathtaking views. Our guide, Whitney, was very knowledgeable and a joy!
We had so much fun on this tour! Whitney made sure we learned a lot and laughed a lot and she was an amazing photographer for us. She was a great guide!
Amazing time with a great guide. Saw some cool cacti, learned so stuff about the desert and the Native American tribes, and had fun bumping through the trails in the Jeep
